21st Century Community Learning Centers Providing Afterschool and Summer Learning
Supports to Communities Nationwide
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st
CCLC) initiative is the only federal funding source
dedicated exclusively to before-school, afterschool and
summer learning programs. Each state education agency
receives funds based on its share of Title I funding for low
-income students. Funds are also allocated to territories
and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. 21st CCLC
programs provide the following services to students
attending high-poverty, low-performing schools:

meet state and local achievement standards;

Given the large demand for quality afterschool, before-school
and summer learning programs, and the potentially high cost
of adding time to the school day, 21st CCLC programs are a
wise investment. Unfortunately, current legislation could
result in fewer communities having access to these quality
programs. Of particular interest to afterschool providers has
been the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) waivers that offer
states flexibility around the mandates of the 10-year-old law.
The optional 11th waiver would allow 21st CCLC funds to be
used to lengthen the school day, week or year. This is
especially concerning because 21st CCLC funding has been a
major factor in helping to close the socioeconomic gap in
afterschool participation. While participation rates have
increased at every level of family income nationwide, lowest
income youth have shown the greatest increase in
participation. (Harvard Family Research Project, 2006)
Teacher Reported Outcomes1
State Assessments1 Regular Attendance is Key
Students who participate more in 21st CCLC programs show greater improvement in: - grades;
- math and reading proficiency; - homework completion; - class participation; and - student behavior. (Learning Point Associates, 2010) A study of about 3,000 low-income,
ethnically-diverse elementary and middle school students found that those who regularly attended high-quality programs (including programs funded by 21st CCLC) over two years demonstrated gains of up to 20 percentiles and 12 percentiles in standardized math test scores respectively, compared to peers who were routinely unsupervised during the afterschool hours. (Policy Studies Associates, Inc., 2007)

Supports to Communities Nationwide
Current funding levels do not come close to meeting the
nationwide demand:
22 million kids are eligible to attend 21st CCLC programs
nationally, but funding allows for only 1.6 million to
participate. (National Center for Education Statistics)
There are 18.5 million children in the United States whose
parents would enroll them in an afterschool program if one were available. (America After 3PM, 2009)
Only 1 out of 3 local requests for funding is awarded. Over the
last 10 years, $4 billion in local grant requests were denied
because of the lack of adequate federal funding and intense competition. (Learning Point Associates, 2012)
The federal government contributes only 11 percent of the cost
of afterschool, while 29 percent of children in afterschool meet
the federal government’s definition of low-income and in need of federal assistance. (Roadmap to Afterschool for All: Examining
Current Investments and Mapping Future Needs, 2009)
Between 2006 and 2010, partner organizations have contributed
more than $1 billion to support 21st CCLC programs. In
2010, the average contribution was $67,000 per partner. (Expanding Minds and Opportunities, 2013)
Each grantee has
an average of
2 additional funding sources
